Background to the Show's Creation
'The Faery's Kiss' was conceived and written in in the Quoddy Loop area - which comprises Canada and Maine overlooking the Bay of Fundy. The entire story was inspired by this marvelous coastal setting on a mountainside, overlooking a bay and an ocean and from the Celtic heritage that is so pervasive throughout the Maritimes and the Quoddy Loop region of Maine and Canada. Many of these wonderful, quaint rural areas have held much of its charm from the pervious centuries, and the archives of the regional towns have a wealth of photographs from early periods.
